SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 288,172, dated November 6, 1883.

"Application `filed May 21, 1883. (No model.) v 'A x To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, GEORGE W. GLAZIER., a citizen of the United States, residing at Salem, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Box-Fasting Machines;

and I do hereby declare'that the same are fully described in the following specication and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in papenbox-pasting machines, and it is carried out as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Where- Figure l represents a front elevation of the improved pasting-machine in connection with a press for uniting the pasted ends of the boxes to their respective sidesand bottoms. Fig. 2 represents atop view of Fig. 1. ,Fig 3 represents a horizontal section on the line A B, shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 represents a vertical I cross-section on the line C D7 shown in Fig. l,

Vand'Fig. 5 represents a sectional view on the line E F, as shown in Eig. 2.

SimilarI letters refer to similar parts wher- 5 ever they occur on the different partsv of the drawings.

`This my improved pasting-machine is in` tended for the purpose of automatically applying paste to three of the edges of the paste` board ends that are used in setting up boxes, and 'to automatically separate such pasted kpiece from the others piled upon it, so that it may be removed after being pasted from the pile of unpasted sheets and placed upon the 5 Worklplate ofthe press, thereto be pressed and stuck to pasteboard lips, ,forming a, part of the sides and bottom of the box, to be made as isusual in making boxes of this kind.- l

G represents an Ordinary foot-power press, such asis usedA for pressing and uniting. the 'pasted edges oi box parts to corresponding meeting surfaces of the unpasted portions vof the box, and g is the stationarywcrk-supporting post, with its upper Work-supporting plate or table y. g g" represent the press-frame, with its vertically-movable rods g3 g3 and head g4, which are actuated by means of treadle-lever g5 and springs gi. g, asusuall; and I Wish to state that l do not claim the abovedescribed press as forming a part of my invention.

upright frames a a, Vsupported in their lower support. To the uprights a a is secured the horizontal plate c, that serves as asupport for the paste-troughs d c e, the former being adjustable forward and back by means of the setin the ends of said trough cl, and screwed into the plate c. The troughs e c are adjustable to and from each other by meaus of set-screws c 49',- screwed through proj ections'e e, that are adapted to clamp on the front edge of the horizontal plate c, as shown, and in this manable, according to the size of the pasteboard that is to be pasted. Each trough e has an upwardly-projecting edge, e3, that projects removing the pasteboard after itis pasted, as Wouldotherwise be the case if the pasteboard came in contact with the ends of said troughs The troughs d e e contain the paste that is taken up by the pasting mechanism and applied to the sheet, as will now be described.

To vthe upright frames a. a are attached or made in one piece the bearings a a," for the to move up and down in said bearingsa a. Below the table or plate c the rods f f are united by means ofthe horizontalbar or beam j, secured to them, so as to imparta simultaneous Vertical motion to both rods f f when the beam j is operated. Above the plate c and its troughs d c c the rods f f are united by means of the horizontal beam h and its projecting ends or brackets h h', as shown in Fig. 2. To the front of the beam h is secured the vertical and detachable plate h, that Serves as a rear guide for the pile or layers t' of pastener.. the troughs e e may be laterally adjust-V above theremaining sides of it, and serves as. a rest for the underside of the pasteboard. while being pasted, and it also serves to preventk the paste from being scraped oft' While vertical rods ff, which are guided and madey The pasting-machine is composed of J(he ends upon a suitable table, b, or other similar screws d d, passing through slotted ears d d boards While in the process of beingy pasted. y To said plate h are secured, by means of setscrevs h3 h3, the vertical Wires k k, having lowerbent` ends, k' k', which dip into the paste in the trough d during the downward stroke of the rods ff, and take up a portion thereof and apply it in spots to the under side of the loW- est sheet Z' inthe pile of pasteboards during the upward stroke'of'said rods f f, and in this manner the paste is automatically applied to the under side of the rear of the pasteboard. The paste is applied to the side edges of the pasteboard by Vmeans of the lower bent ends, Z Z, of the verticalwires Z'Z,'which are secured by means of suitable set-screws, Z Z, to therespective vertical and detachable plates Z3 Z3, which latter are secured at their upper [ends to the laterally-adjustable bars m m, having heads m m, with groo'ved bottoms fitting the topof bar or beam h, on which theyare adjustable to and from each other, according to the width of the pasteboardsthat yare being operated upon. After being adjusted the said grooved heads m 4maresecu-red to 'beam h by means of set-screws mfm. (Shown `in Figs. A2 andrei.)

'The beam j and its connecting mechanism to the pasters 7c Z Z are operated upward `by Vmeans of the rock-lever n, hung `-at' ntoa bracket, c', 'secured tothe underside of plate c, and having its inner end, fn, Tfork'edto embrace the'stud or projectionj, 4secured to the lower beam, jfas shown infFig. l. .The outer end'of thelever a is operated downward by the collar vg7 on one of `thevpress-*rods g3, as shown in Fig. l, and it will'thus 1be yseen that "when the' rods gs g3 `and press-head y" are Vmoved downward by pressing on the treadle g5 the lever a is :automatically acted upon, and by the connecting mechanism, v'as described, the pasters Za Z Z are .automatically -caused to rise and transfer a portioirof the paste l from the vtroughsdc c to the under'sideofthe lowestfsheet inithefpile When the opera- Jtor relieves his footpressure onthe treadle g5, the springs g g? cause :the rods g3 g3 toriseupward, and in sowdoing 'the outer end of the lever n is liberated from the collar 97, ywhen V'torfsufliciently to enable him' to take hold of `it and release it and remove it-entirelyifrom the pile by 'the followingmechanism:

Tn bearing c', attached totheunder side of the table c,-.is journaled at jothe rock-lever '0,'

having apin or projectionio in `itsforward end, which vis acted =.upon bythe stud or'prof jection j', when the beam j descends. .To the upper lendv ofthe rock-lever o is hinged the,

picker-rod p, Vhaving a 'picker projection or tooth, p', inlts rear end, -as-seen in Fig. 4.

osais-a suitable spring'secured'to rock-lever 0,and pressingagainst the hinged end of the 'picker-frodi?, Vso as lto automatically keep its Arear end upward against the under side'of the lowest-sheetin the pile o4i is fa,'coiled. spring, connecting the lower endzof` lever ^0 `with lthe underside of' table c. y 1g gare adjustablegageeplates, arranged `in front vof the pile of sheets 'Z in suchk a manner that their lower ends shall not project downward any Ifarther than to allow the lowest sheet in the pile i to be drawn freely forward between the space left between the upper edges e3 e3 of the troughs c e and the lower upper end of the vertical arm or bracket r, tov

which it is secured by means of set-screw r', after being adjusted, and it will thus be seen that by turning the rod q in its bearing the lower end of the gage g may bey raised or low ered to leave Ithe desired space between it and the edges e3 e3'on thetroughs ce, laccording to the thickness of the :pasteboards that'are in the process of being pasted. By sliding the `rods gf q forward or back in their lbearings in the brackets r o", the gages q q may be adjusted forward or bach-according to the size of the sheets in the pile ,and vafter being thus properly adj usted in 'both directions the Each gage q is attached to-a said gages'q gare frmlysecured byfmeans of 95 of the table c by having'lowerforkedlends r v r yplaced vover the front edge of said table c,

-and'secured to the same, after 'being properly.

adjusted, by means-of set-screws rgr, as shown in Figs. land4. Y

The operation of the improved machineis 'as follows: After the paste has been placed in the troughs cZ c c anda pile of pasteboards, vZ, laid'on top of edges-caes, between the-space inclosed by rear plate, h,side plates, Z3 Z3,and gage-plates q q, the operator depresses treadlerlever g5, causing the pasters 7c Z" Zto come in IOO 'contact withthe'underside of the lowestfsheet in 'the pile fi, and lafter-such :sheet has been `pasted in this manner the pressure/on treadlelever g'is removed, kwhen the lpasters lo Z Z=are automatically causedto descend intothe-'pastereceptacles d c e by their ownfgravityand that of the vertically-movable connecting mechanism, as described. During Vthe upward motion ofthe pasters the picker-toothp is automaticallyvmoved backof the rear edge of thelowestsheet'z' bythe influence of the spring o4, and during the descent of the beam j the picker-tooth pv is automatically -moved forward by the action of the projection j" on the pin o, attached to the llowerend of rocklever o, and byvsuch forward-motion of picker- -tooth pthelower'sheet ofthe pile t', thathas been paste\d,-lis moved forward a small distance Vbetween the supp orting-edges c3 e3 and the lower edges of the gages 'q q, to enable theop'erator tto take hold of it and vremove it fromthe other sheetsin thejpile, and so on.

Y What Ifwishlto'secure by Letters-Patent, and claim, is t.

`1o tially as described, for adjusting said plates and receptacles independently of each other, as described.
